As
the Yukon and Klondike rivers begin to freeze in winter everything
in Dawson seems to come to a standstill. As night becomes indistinguishable
from day, stillness becomes indistinguishable from movement and time
shifts becoming erratic and muddled.

Shot
in winter 2005 during a KIAC Artists residency and edited for Navigator
exhibition in a disused shop in Bishop Auckland, November 2006. Musician
Dave Barrett produced the music as a response to video material and
sound bites I collected when in Dawson. The final clip shows Cave
Man Bill talking about the movement of the river as it freezes.
